Early morning calm. A view of the Tonle Bassac River.

You are what you eat. These are some of the vegetables commonly found in the markets in Cambodia.

Hang in there, little flower. Hope is in the horizon.

This is just one of the views that welcomed us in our previous road trip. As it was at the height of summer, when the whole Kingdom was dry, dusty, and arid, we began our trip very early morning. On our first stop was an ordinary hill. However, tucked amidst the green vegetation on this hill lies the remnants of a lesser known ancient temple with a history of its own.

The holiday season is upon us again and I’ve been obsessing on these coloured adhesive tapes. They will be used for gift-wrapping and making Christmas cards.

Good news to residents of Tuol Kork (TK) like me.
TK Avenue offers shopping, dining and entertainment – all in one place. And what’s great news is that we don’t have to go very far. It is less than five minutes from our place.

One of those places where people want to be seen.

TK Avenue opened last year and it’s an open-air mall that houses high-end restaurants and luxury brand shops. It is clean and has a Western vibe to it; and it is popular to mostly well-to-do Cambodians, especially the young ones who are most fond of taking selfies in every corner!

I don’t go there often though and if I do, it’s mostly for coffee with friends at Brown Cafe. Perhaps it is time that I explore the various dining options there.
